primus: tim alexander: drum solos: 2006 US winter tour 1of3

[23house23]

so fucking badass

[PachydermSouthbound]

Primus are so underrated in so many ways its a fucking crime

[mythkid1208]

Anyone find it odd that his bass drum is a different color than all the other drums?

[cpinto72]

man this guy so underrated.......

[breastmilkdabestmilk]

@cpinto72 For sure. He's pretty well respected amongst drummers though.

[GoAEEPH]

1:52 Tim mark gets nasty! He's so siicckk!!

[Fistsoffury12]

Tim is a god on drums. WORSHIP IS HOLYNESS!

[Fistsoffury12]

Tim is a god on drums. WORSSHIP IS HOLYNESS!

[spookypunky]

It's ok to write PRIMUS SUCKS! They, themselves have been saying it since 1989

[baldiloxbaldilox]

Very cool. I used to be drum tech for Jerry Gaskill of King's X. I wish I would have recorded some vids like this. Very cool, bro.

[larzwarz123]

i luv how he rips them triplets in there !

[MrTropicaldopebeats]

tim freaking kills. and his toms sound fine to me. crappy camera mic, that's why.

[nauyaca555]

ok, I love Primus and Tim but does anyone else think his toms sound like crap in this solo?

[thug4musik]

crappy toms can sound real good depending on how you mic them up

[RChurchich]

People talk shit. It's those same people who could never do anything like this in their dreams but love to criticize work.

[Arrhythmia]

Primus are a band whose dynamics are completely unconventional and it's a testament to Tim's skill that he can complement all the wacked out sounds Les and Larry throw out there and still make the songs work. He's a fuckin' groove monster.

[cesar10rockemo]

@Arrhythmia damn, ur comment left me with my mouth open dude :P

[muler321]

What happened to Brain?

[Croatch]

LRFF, we get it.

Rock solos are hard to listen to.

This says nothing about his capacity to groove or support a band.

[earmufflive]

I agree. This solo is kind of obtuse. I wouldn't doubt Alexander's capacity to groove or support a band, however. He's an incredible drummer with nothing to prove. Oh and he's playing the quads with a right hand lead. :)

[gravybiscuits57]

danny carey could easily play this stuff, and herb could play his stuff too

[bassmanelijah]

Um...

Tim Alexander IS Herb

[msand151]

PRIMUS SUCKS

[shenkorer]

your mom sux too so what?

[xxbassdemonxx]

you dont get it. look up "PRIMUS SUCKS" and then delete your comment.

[petar1987]

omg.... ahahaha

you're not a primus fan are ya?

[Pizza300]

LOSER!!! HE DOESN'T GET IT!!! LOL

[23house23]

yup

[piledriver89]

ye tool are shit but they have grown on me but primus shit all over them

[Pizza300]

fuck yourself

[piledriver89]

fuck yourself batty man

[211123436]

Fuck you both........sorry i couldnt resist and good ol "fuck you" off.

[toolkills]

you're shit

[segusband]

you worked with tim alexander and stewart copeland??? Man, you are lucky!

Do you play drums? You should.

Primus sucks.

[Bisqueman5]

yes they do!

[Hag2King8]

check out Ginger Bakers TOAD solo from Cream Live at albert hall 2005 hes awesome

[Rodysniper]

great drummer from a great band, Makes me wonder what ever happened to Laundry Tim's side project and the reason he wasnt their for the Brown Album... and whats Brain doin now??? Awesome video Herb is a genius drummer..... see if anyone gets that reference : )

[wdslv]

jackass.

[subatom101]

!!!!!!!!!EM KCUF

[Toolguitarplayer]

im into these three masters of drums :Danile mother-fucking carey,tomas haake,tim alexander. masters amazing stuff.(but danny is my fav)

[sumstufflol]

Your taste is impeccable.

[amaia11]

I Think Danny Carrey has more technique, as he is inspired by indian music, and tabla. But Tim Alexander creations are much créatives, and originals, I like them both, i like primus and tool both too.

[23house23]

danny carrey couldnt play herb's shit. no way. the reverse however is true.

[Yuck46]

Kidding Me?

[stixx692001]

GIFTED

[Samaflame]

I was there. AMAZING SHOW. I wish theyd still tour and play but I don't blame them theyve been together since like 80..9 i think

[Amird151]

props to all those aware of the incomparibility of Tim and Danny... theyre both artists with different rhythmic visions and from what i know respect each others art very much

[subftw2798]

tommy lee sucks but far beyond him in the tier of elite drummers as this fella and others, there is not much comparison because they're all so good in their own way that you can't compare them. it just depends on what style of play you like more! they're all very very very good and its near impossible to tell whos #1 or 2 or 3...

[Linixion]

Danny and Tim are too different and are at two different musical levels for their own purposes, they can't be compared, in my opinion. I agree with Mr prasiddha that all of you people are way too competitive about "who is better."

[bananaverse]

holy shit. that's all i'm saying.

[Snoochies]

I saw Primus a year ago and I'm going to see Tool in a couple weeks. I think both Danney and Tim are superb drummers, but they cannot be compared to one another.

[tnioj]

..tim and danny are equal

[mjmetal27]

excellent, nough said.

[owlofwarwick]

Every drummer has a style that fits the band. Not everyone develops Danny's level, or Tim's. Some drummers are just in it for the fame. What we see in this video is a drummer who enjoys what he's doing, thats all that matters. For fans of Tim and Maynard, check out Puscifer.

[mt85]

go, Herb, Go!!

[mccmekka]

tom work is phenomenal

[Murkaba]

Danny Carey from Tool is a beast

[laner2281]

cant believe you chuckle heads are comparing drummers like neil peart, danny carey and tim alexander!! 3 TOTALLY different drummers...then someone throws fuckin tommy lee in too?!! wtf?! carey and alexander at the same time? now THAT would sound fuckin retarded.

[gearjamminJOE]

i would rather see herb drum off with danny carrey

[ivxstevexvi]

amen, but we all know DC would take the crown

[peripatetikerQC]

no fucking way !

[Zaphkielonoma]

actually it would go to zach hill

[prasiddha]

Actually it would go to...WHO CARES? MUSIC IS NOT A COMPETITION!

[crimlaw2112]

WTF, Tommy Lee? He shouldn't even be mentioned as being in the same profession as Neil or Herb. Tommy couldn't even fuck Heather or Pam properly, despite his equipment. Tommy Lee HAhahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaHoHoh­ohohoohoooHeeeheheeheheeee, what the fuck is this world coming to?

[Lacolith]

Tommy Lee, meet talent, I'm quite sure you've never met.

[daliOtter]

fuck tommy lee!!

[Snorglorf]

Sound quality is atrocious

[BROST81]

c'est un boss

[DanielTheFisherman]

Do you got anything from the ft worth show?

[zombie01]

I would love to see a drum duel between Herb and Neil Peart.

[Pizza300]

Why just to ruin the Primus sucks joke? You suck!(Am I kidding?)

[ashenator]

just so original, his technique is just so unique

[bookofthoth]

I wonder what is going on in his head when he plays such masterpieces as this...

[isermaniac87]

Tim is the man! PRIMUS SUCKS!!!!!

[chock19]

i would have loved to see a Tim solo on this tour. Unfortunately, the only show of this tour that i saw was at Roseland, so go figure...

[000OOOooo]

ifeel ya i was realy hoping for a drum solo

[satanismybrother]

you could set you're watch to tim alexander. He is precision personified.

[genscales]

It's good to see Tim back with Primus. Nothing against The Brain but Tim just has a better style and sound. Brain was just weird.

[Fatherdet]

Good to hear that frizzle fry wasn't just a fluke.
